(the above is the back of the flyer) Once an industry standard has been established, the wire services such as Associated Press and Knight Ridder will probably start offering the subcribing papers 3D models of buildings and scenes from breaking news events and these will probably be in the native format of the industry standard app.

Who decides what becomes the industry standard? The Society of News Design (SND) has a huge influence (they co-sponsored the event you see in the flyer). The Associated Press has an even bigger influence and recently sent all their subscribers a newsletter outlining a test they performed on what 3D app they felt was the best. Cinema 4D was their pick, Carrara wasn't even tested.
